Jury, they seemed to have two opin-
ions and at late hour last evening
no verdict had been announced. The
court next took up the case of Mary
E. Stewart ct al. VS.. the Western
Union telegraph company. This suit
grows out of the fact that
the late j. r. Stewart held the
title to a piece of property at Butler,
Mo-, a few yearsag Another party
pretended to have a deed of trust to
the property and advertised the place
for sale. Mr.. Stewart applied to his
honor Judge CAN'T, at Clinton, for
an injunction restraining the party
from selling the property at trustees
sale. The injunction was granted and
Judge Cant telegraped from Clinton
TO the sheriff of Bates county restrain
ing the party from selling the place.
The telegram was not delivered to the
sheriff, hence the place was sold, there.
by damaging the title of Stewart,
and the heirs of j. X. Stewart now
brings a suit against the Western I'm
